Given the rule that was sugested you would force any mail sent
directly to you to have your full (and correct) name attached to it,
when having a descriptive name acssociated with the email address is
not a requirement.

So if someone slips up and leaves out the doubble 'n' or just uses
your first name. or doesn't include you name at all... just a bare
email, you would discard it.

Nope, you're overthinking the problem.

All you have to do is:

  1) If the To: header shows only your email address; and
  2) If there is something in the namespace (comment) area of the
     To: address; and
  3) If that text doesn't contain your first name or your last name;
  then
  It's probably spam.

I have had such a recipe for a while now, and it works fine.
